i SELECT^ROSES I, 



Dreer's Select List of Popular Hybrid -Tea Roses 



The Roses described on this and the following four pages, that is, pages 128, 129, 130 and 131, represent a 

 careful selection of the best, popular, well-tried, standard Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea varieties, all of 

 them sorts that we unhesitatingly recommend for general planting. 



The newer varieties, recent introductions of most noted Rose specialists, will be found described on 

 pages 121 to 127 and all of them are especially recommended for your careful consideration. 



Duchess of York. Good sized well formed double flowers 

 of distinct and unique coloring; a pretty shadeof tangerine- 

 orange with rose suffusion, passing to golden rose-pink as 

 the flowers develop. A good free flowering garden variety. 

 Edel. An enormous bold, stately, well built flower of great 

 depth, quality and finish. Color, white with the faintest 

 ivory shading towards the base. 

 Elegante. Long sulphur yellow buds developing into 

 large full creamy-yellow flowers, a strong vigorous grower 

 and very free flowering, producing very fine flowers even 

 during most unfavorable hot summer weather. 

 Elizabeth of York. Beautifully formed long pointed 

 buds of a glowing cerise-red with yellow suffusion at the 

 base; the petals as they unfold spread widely with a 

 splendid reflex ultimately showing the stamens. An 

 artistic, dainty, delicately colored flower. 

 Etoile de Feu. Very distinct and attractive large sub- 

 stantial globular buds expanding to large, cupped, full to 

 centre flowers, of a rich flaming orange-pink with flame 

 colored shadings, borne profusely throughout the season ; 

 the plant is of vigorous free habit with attractive glossy 

 foliage. 



Etoile de Hollande. The best allround red bedding 

 Rose yet introduced. A strong vigorous healthy grower 

 and free bloomer which, like the popular Radiance Roses, 

 improves in vigor from year to year. It is a continuous 

 bloomer with large, moderately double flowers that are 

 particularly attractive in the half-blown state. In color a 

 brilliant crimson red. 

 Felicity. A gem of a beautiful shade of mallow-pink 

 shading to bright cerise at the edges, with soft creamy 

 suffusion at the base of petals; fine long bud and splen- 

 did, large, double, sweet-scented cup-shaped flower. 

 An exceptionally fine Rose.

Angele Pernet. A rich, vivid, coppery-orange-yellow color, 

 not approached by any other Rose. Its buds are long, 

 opening to semi-double cupped fragrant flowers. An indis- 

 pensable variety that you will love for its wonderful color.

 autumn. Color glowing coppery-rose, suffused with a golden 

 sheen. 



Betty Uprichard. A pretty combination of colors, inner 

 face of petals delicate salmon-pink to carmine, outside glow- 

 ing carmine with coppery sheen and orange suffusion; well- 

 formed medium sized flowers of good substance and sweet 

 scented. 



Caroline Testout. One of the most popular and valuable 

 bedding varieties; large, full globular flowers of bright 

 satiny rose, with brighter centre, very free and fragrant. 



Columbia. Of strong, vigorous habit and exceptionally 

 free blooming. The flowers are perfect in form. Color a 

 most pleasing shade of rose-pink and delightfully fragrant. 



Constance. A free-flowering variety, producing long 

 orange-yellow buds, streaked with crimson; as they de- 

 velop they open to a full globular flower of golden-yellow.

 no variety that compares with this richly colored semi- 

 double vermilion scarlet with orange suffusion. A vigor- 

 ous grower and free flowering. 



Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into wonder- 

 ful flowers of immense size are produced singly on well- 

 foliaged strong canes. The flowers are composed of very 

 substantial broad petals which curl back prettily forming a 

 glorious long pointed bud and a full double flower which is 

 beautiful in every stage of development. Color a brilliant 

 yet soft Rose du Barri pink; strongly sweet-scented. 



Duchess of Wellington. Long shapely buds, with petals 

 of great substance, color an intense saffron-yellow stained
